This study investigated the culture characteristics of Cryptoporus volvatus, whichis grow naturally in Korea, to determine the suitable environmental conditions for its cultivation. The physiological characteristics of the mycelia were assessed according to the cultivation conditions, to determine the optimal conditions for artificial cultivation. The visual characteristics of the hyphae of Cryptoporus volvatus KACC52303 included an irregular and uneven surface and a fuzzy or cotton-like texture. Under the microscope, its microstructure showed pre-chlamydospore formation, but no clamps were seen. The appropriate culture temperature was found to be a medium/high temperature of approximately 25–30oC, and the optimal pH was found to have a wide range from weakly acidic (pH 4) to neutral (pH 7). In the optimal nutrient source experiment, hyphal growth was shown to be fair in a mixed medium with 2.5% dextrin as the carbon source and 0.1% yeast extract as the organic nitrogen source. Among the various amino acids, organic acids, and inorganic salts tested, the fastest hyphal growth was observed in the presence of leucine, acetic acid or gluconic acid, and KCl or KH2PO4, respectively. The column test showed that the best mycelial growth occurred in a mixed medium of 80% pine sawdust, 10% rice bran, and 10% corncob sawdust.

국내 자생하는 한입버섯의 생리활성 및 항염 활성을 분석하기 위하여 열수 및 70% 에탄올, 70% 메탄올 추출물에 대한 DPPH 라디컬 소거능, 아질산염소거능, 총 폴리 페놀 함량, NO 생성률 및 세포생존율을 분석하였다. 본 연구결과 한입버섯의 열수추출물과 70% 메탄올 추출물에 비하여 70% 에탄올추출물의 DPPH 라디컬 소거능(76.1%), 아질산염 소거능(29.5%), 총 폴리페놀 함량(9.17 mg GAE/g)이 가장 높았다. 또한 총 폴리페놀 함량과 DPPH 라디컬 소거능 및 아질산염 소거능과는 유의적인 상관관계를 나타냈다. NO 생성률은 70%에탄올 추출물이 37.8%로 가장 낮아 NO 저해효능이 우수하였으며, 세포생존율은 81.4%로 열수추출물이 가장 높아 열수추출에 의한 세포독성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 베타글루칸 함량은 37.8%로 측정되었다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 우리 주위에서 쉽게 접할 수 있는 야생버섯 중의 하나인 한입 버섯이 건강기능성 식품 등의 개발 가능성이 큰 버섯임을 보여주고 있으며, 일반인들도 차의 형태로 우려 마실 경우 여러 질병들에 대한 예방학적 차원에서 효과를 볼 수 있으리라 기대된다.

This study was carried out to investigate chemical ingredient of Cryptoporus vovatus . Methanol extract of Cryptoporus vovatus was analyzed by column chromatography, thin layer chromatography, HPLC, mass spectrophotometer. CVM33100Me21 was isolated by prep-HPLC from methylene chloride fraction. From the physico-chemical data, including NMR, MS, the chemical structure of the compound was determined to be an ergosterol peroxide. (Fig. 1)
